Shirley Temple
TypeNon-alcoholic mixed drink
Ingredients
Standard garnishMaraschino cherry

A Shirley Temple is a non-alcoholic mixed drink traditionally made with ginger ale and a splash of grenadine, and is garnished with a maraschino cherry.[1][2][3][4][5] Modern Shirley Temple recipes may use lemon-lime soda or lemonade, and sometimes orange juice, in part or in whole, include a citrus wedge or slice as a garnish, and use maraschino cherry juice.[6][7][8][9][10] Shirley Temples are often served as an alternative to alcoholic cocktails.

The Shirley Temple is also known as a "kiddie cocktail".[11][12]

Origin

The drink may have been invented at Chasen's, a restaurant in West Hollywood, California, to serve then-child actress Shirley Temple. However, other claims to its origin have been made.[13] Temple herself was not a fan of the drink, as she told Scott Simon in an NPR interview in 1986:

The saccharine sweet, icky drink? Yes, well... those were created in the probably middle 1930s by the Brown Derby Restaurant in Hollywood and I had nothing to do with it. But, all over the world, I am served that. People think it's funny. I hate them. Too sweet![14][15]

In 1988, Temple filed a lawsuit to prevent the sale of a bottled soda version using her name.[16][17] In October 2024, American soft drink brand 7 Up introduced a limited release Shirley Temple–flavored variety, which was later reintroduced in October 2025.[18][19] By 2026, many soda brands released Shirley Temple flavors, including Poppi, Olipop, Slice, and Bloom Pop.[20][21][22][23][24]

With alcohol

[edit]

Adding 1.5 US fluid ounces (44 ml) of vodka or rum produces a "Dirty Shirley"[25] or "Shirley Temple Black", the latter referring to the name the actress took as an adult.[26]
